Description

This monograph offers a critical examination of India's climate diplomacy, and how domestic political and economic imperatives shape India's strategies in international climate negotiations. Using India as a detailed case study, the book unpacks the complex interplay between national interests—such as poverty alleviation, energy security, and economic development—and the pressures of global climate governance.

The analysis charts the evolution of India's position, from its perceived obstructionist role to a more constructionist one, with a special focus on the pivotal 2009 Copenhagen Climate Conference (COP 15). By investigating the 'win-set' of Indian negotiators, the book reveals the domestic constraints and opportunities that defined its foreign policy. It contrasts India's approach with that of other major powers and within key negotiating blocs. This work is a useful contribution to the literature on environmental politics, foreign policy analysis, and South Asian studies, providing essential reading for academics, policymakers, and students seeking to understand the challenges of climate diplomacy in the Global South.
